The Prime Minister’s wife, (Datin Paduka Seri) Rosmah Mansor, was anonymously
proclaimed the “most powerful woman in Malaysia”.
The proclamation was made in a full-page anonymously placed
advertorial in The Star newspaper today entitled “10 Most Powerful Women in
Malaysia” (in red) and with the strap line “We celebrate the economic,
political and social contributions of these women to society”. (Page 5).
She tops the list that includes in descending order Dr Zeti
Akhtar Aziz (Bank Negara Governor), Michelle Yeoh (Actress), Ambiga Sreenevasan
(Bersih co-chairman), Nurul Izzah Anwar (PKR Member of Parliament), Hannah Yeoh
(DAP State Assembly member), Teresa Kok (DAP Member of Parliament),
Geethanjali G (Entrepreneur/Actress), Jamelah Jamaluddin (Banker) and Marina
Mahathir (Malaysian Aids Council).”
A check with the MCA-owned newspaper yielded little. The advertorial, according to the paper's advertising department, was inserted by “sendirian berhad” company, which The Star declined to identify.
Of Mohd Najib Abdul Razak’s wife, the advertorial says:
“Datin Paduka Seri Rosmah Mansor, as wife of the Prime Minister of Malaysia
wears many hats. She is the President of the Welfare Association of Minister’s
Wives (Bakti). She holds the position of patron of various associations, among
others are Children in Hope Foundation, Malaysian Nature Society, Malaysian
Society of Orthopedically (sic) Handicapped, Malaysian Aids Council, National
Heart Institute Foundation, Thalasemia (sic) Association, National Athletes’
Welfare Association, the Foundation for the Development of Underprivileged
Children and many more. She is also the Patron of Badminton Association of
Malaysia (BAM), as well as the President of the Girl Guides Association of
Malaysia.”
The text of the advertorial refers to “we”, “our annual snapshot”, “we applied three metrics: money, media presence and impact” and “we select women who go beyond traditional taxonomy of the power elite.”
It ends its proclamation with the slogan “Empowering Women
For A Better Future”.
But who are “the we” behind the award?
Mystery, mystery.

Look closely at the names. It’s the men behind the women
If some anonymous guy were to say not so good things about Rosmah, the long arm of the Law will be applied to trace and book that fellow.
However, in this STAR full page ad, the anonyumous fellow will be rewarded with titles and contracts soon.Then the guy will display himself in full page .
DAP women must be fantastic. I can almost smell South-of-the-border DNA in this advert in the gunting-dalam-lipatan MCA mouthpiece. Remember LKY's infamous visit on LGE and Nicky of the Serambi Makkah fame soon after the results of GE 12 were known. What it took to appease UMNO was just that nominal paying of homage to Kak Mah and the rest of the insult smelt roses.
It could be suparman sdn bhd
Salam Datuk,
Jarum halus,Datuk,"the most powerful"...impak nya pada PM kita jua...
Ingat lah,kita mesti menjadi lebih bijak lepas PRU13 ni... sebab nya selepas lebih 50tahun merdeka,"cop melayu bodoh itu semakin menjadi-jadi pula".
Kia mesti FOKUS kepada:-
1. Penyatuan dan perpaduan kental. Semangat ini masih ada di Kelantan dan Terengganu. Lain semakin luntur.
2. Kita mesti utamakan pembangunan ekonomi bumiputera dengan serius kerana Johor, Selangor, WP, Perak, Perlis, Melaka dan N.S mempunyai koridor dan akses nyata. P.Pinang perlu di pantau rapi. Pahang sebagai koridor timur.
3. Dewan Perniagaan Melayu mesti kuat dan berpengaruh. Demi keseimbangan apabila setiap dasar di laksanakan. Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka tidak boleh di bawah Dong Zhong!
Bukan DSRosmah sahaja yang mesti "most powerful" tetapi untuk semua wanita-wanita Melayu/bumiputera. Sesiapa yang pernah tonton drama bersiri Korea - Jewel In The Crown, maka sesungguh nya watak persamaan nya untuk di contohi seperti legenda wanita melayu yang bergelar Tun Fatimah....
It is very funny. They want to celebrate the women who support PR but did not have the guts to do it openly. At the end of the day Rosmah would be getting the bad names for her position. Many of those women in the list were unknown to the majority of Malaysian women.
Anybody can come with the list. Put any woman you like and give them numbers 1 to 10 or 1000.the list can go on as you like..no source who made it. no criteria given. better come up with list of most beautiful women in malaysia...
Salam Saudaraku AKJ,
Agreed that this column had profiled all Malaysia' s power ladies. Some with front support while others may have back supporters. However, why was the prestigious position of First Lady deliberately left out in the name of Kak Rosmah?Are Malaysians proud of her national title as there should be some respect for the PM's wife! Please clarify this issue without prejudice!
Dato.
Dari senarai wanita ysng hebat diMalaysia seperti ysng Dato tulis semula petikan dari Star cukup menarik.
Rupanya tak ada pun nama Wanita dari PAS.Begitu juga Wanita dari UMNO.
Jelas Wanita dari PAS/UMNO tak ada tokoh yang kaliber.
Isu Wanita UMNO misalnya tercorot dimata rakyat dan pengundi.Wanita UMNO perlu dirombak besar-besaran.
Shahrizat dan proksinya undurlah.
Nasib baik ada tersenarai Isteri PM Najib Rosmah.
Kaum ibu UMNO/PAS apa dah jadi.
Jumpa lagi.Terima kasih.
Salam Dato'.
Dengan menggambarkan Rosmah sbg The Most Powerful Woman in Malaysia saya melihatnya dari sudut yg lain sebagai satu pembunuhan karakter (character assassination) buat DS Najib & Rosmah sendiri (mungkinkah?).
Kelihatannya seolah-olah satu pengesahan kepada khabar2 dunia maya tentang peranan Rosmah yang membayangi DS Najib.
Salam Datuk..
Wanita memang bolih memberi "contribution" dalam kemajuan sesebuah negara..
Banyak contoh-contoh yang kita bolih lihat samaada dulu dan sekarang, seperti zaman permulaan Islam dimana Siti Khadijah isteri junjungan Nabi Muhammad SAW, yang sangat berjasa dalam memberi sokongan moral kepada Nabi kita.
Dizaman Modern, dengan menyebut sedikit nama seperti Marie Curie (Perubatan), Oprah Winfrey (Penerbitan), Shirin Ebadi (Pemenang anugrah novel keamanan dari Iran) dll, adalah contoh yang baik.
DiMalaysia dengan menyebut " The most powerful women" (The Star) boleh mengundang persepsi "negetive" dikalangan rakyat..
TQ Datuk.
Tok Kadir,
No question whatsoever that Rosmah is the most powerful woman (wife) in Malaysia economically, politically and socially. She has strong influence in economic, corporate and contractual decisions of the Prime Minister, if not herself very wealthy. Tok, you had dealt with the rich and the powerful in your time. You once told us that the back door is sometimes wider than the front door.
Rosmah's power was recognised and acknowledged much earlier by Singapore"s grand old man Lee Kuan Yew when called on Rosmah some years ago and said she and Najib were a perfect couple.
Ask JJ, Ahmad Maslan, Omar Ong or even Sanusi Junid of Rosmah's role in the recent GE, and they would tell you that she was more forceful and action-oriented than Najib.
The real mystery is who made this selection and paid for the ads. Is this an inside job? Act of self praise? Or the kaki amnpu at work. But why so many PR women? Is this a Pakatan way of using Rosmah to further weaken Najib? But who is this Ghitanjali G? How could she be in the company of Rosmah, Zeti, Michelle Yoeh, Jamelah and Marina?
I smell something foul in all this. The normal practice is for the newspaper to print the word "Advertorial" when the write-up is not an editorial write-up and is paid for by the advertiser. Could The Star be part of the conspiracy?
Apa nak dihairankan Datuk, kalau tak ada anugerah Wanita Paling Berkuasa pun semua orang tahu bahawa Rosmah Mansur (RM) memang berkuasa. Kalau tidak tentulah cerita RM tidak disiarkan setiap hari di media utama. Tapi saya percaya RM tak banyak duit sebab dia hanya suri rumah mana ada gaji, gaji PM berapalah sangat. RM sibuk pun dalam kegiatan "sukarela" yang tak ada bayaran. Jadi, bila ada pihak misteri menganugerahkan RM wanita paling berkuasa, kita kenalah bangga. Mana ada suri rumah boleh buat macam tu, Datuk.
Salam Semua,
Pandangan dua sen saya ... an effort to promote orang yang tidak dikenali oleh seseorang yang sangat kita kenali among them ... DSR is just an umpan ...
Terima kasih
Kenapa wanita penternak lembu-250juta dan AP Queen tidak termasuk dalam senarai Top 10???
Kadir.
Sebab itu Najib selalu pening kepala sebab isterinya terlalu powerful.
Najib ini sabenarnya kena QC.balek rumah dia macan tikus.
Saya ingat Najib boleh mati berdiri.
Ha ha ha.
Salah satu sebab BN kalah terok kerana Rosmah mencampori soal pemilehan calun terutamanya nya di Selangor.
Siapa yang masok Zulkili Noordin di Shah Alam.
Siapa yang menafikan Kamilah Ibrahim sabagai calon Kuala Kangsar
Najib sekali lagi pergi ka Jakarta dan minta Jusuf Kalla menjadi orang tengah untok bercakap dengan Anwar.
Kali ini tawarannya more sensible.
Kita menunggu respind dari Anwar.
Salam Datuk,
Saya percaya 100% datuk. Kalau nak PSM dan PJN go and rub shoulder dengan beliau. Tentu berjaya.
jgn lupa pula Evita Peron dengan Imelda Marcos skali. .. itu pun wanita wanita hebat semasa suami mereka memerintah. .. last last apa jadi ?????????
najib tawar anwar jadi TPM atau at least menteri kanan tapi ada syarat tambahan. .. anwar kena terima secara pakej. . ambil jawatan dapat free gift for live !!!! hadiah berupa beban utama najib sekarang. .. FLOM. ... :-D:-D:-D:-D:-D:-D:-D:-D
List ni menipu..mana perginya siti nurhaliza?
The Editor-in-Chief of The Star, Wong Chun Wai called me to “explain” the mysterious advertorial. He said he was not informed of the advertisement before it was published. His investigations revealed the following:
1. It was bought by an NGO purported to be in the audit field with three Indian directors (presumably Malaysians).
2. It was contracted by a Punjabi man (presumably a Malaysian too) via an advertising agency called Bloomingdale Sdn Bhd.
3. All the “awardees” are well-known public figures with the exception probably of winner number 8 Geethanjali G, who was described as actress, entrepreneur and TV hostess.
A Google search found her on her twitter account, in which she described herself as “President Of G Global Media, ASTRO TV Host, THR Raaga Radio DJ/Announcer and Malaysian Television & Film Actress”. She was also finalist Miss Universe Malaysia 2009.
The presence of three young Pakatan Rakyat elected representatives and not a soul from the Barisan Nasional also raises questions about the people behind the award, their competence and motive.
Thank you.
Dakj,
Memang pun RM power sungguh.Menteri pun tak sehebat dia.Orang sebelah PM.Semua hal dalam pentadbiran negara dia boleh tahu.
Saya suka cara Tun Dr Siti Hasmah,Sempoi.
Kerja orang lelaki bila ada masuk daun dengan orang pompuan,alamat tak menjadi,kata-kata orang tua-tua .
Salam datuk..
Memang misteri.. If Editor-in-Chief of The Star was not informed, selepas advertisement itu diterbitkan, pelik juga.
Ini bolih menimbulkan persoalan adakah berita-berita, rencana di Suratkabar benar-banar berwibawa dan bolih dipercayai.
Maaf Datuk, sebagai pembaca saya agak keliru, mohon Datuk beri penjelasan.
TQ Datuk
Dato.
Rosmah powerful dari sudut apa.
Ini yang perlu di lihat.
Tokoh-tokoh yang lain powerful kerana berada dalam NGO dan platform politik mereka.
Juga mereka ini menjadi powerful kerana tidak pro BN/Kerajaan.
Adakah Rosmah powerful kerana isteri PM semata atau memang kerana
imejnya sendiri.
Semoga Rosmah pandai-pandai bawa diri agar tidak tercalar imej suaminya.
Tak salah jika Rosmah ambil alih seluruh kepimpinan Wanita UMNO Malaysia daripada Shahrizat yang makin luntur dan lesu dimata rakyat serta masih syok sendiri dikalangan wanita mereka.
Terima kasih.
Datuk,
that last revelation reminds me that orang kita kalau dah benci seseorang tu ... tak nampak dah ulat ulat dan pacat yang memanjat kaki ...
sorry to say ... but this is how we are forever broken by others who understand us so very well ...
thank you
Rosmah most powerful....
Mahathir most powerful.....
NAJIB dok tang mana???
Dato Kadir
Secara fitrah nya, Perempuan ni nafsu 9 and mostly semua nafsu nya for self interest or emotional.
Thats why woman tak boleh jadi Imam atau ketua keluarga mahupun negara
so just take gesture in the star as just another joke
najib pg jumpa saifullllllll. ...... minta pakej servicefulllllll. ....... mana la tau bole jadi anwar punya maduuuufulllllllll. .... relax bwah pokok nyioq punya jenakaaa fulllllllllll
Tokwan rasa elok Datin Seri duk rumah masak nasik kat Datuk Seri nuu.Bagi orang lainlah buat kerja tu semua.Nasihat laki kita jadi ketua yang berani.Duduk kat dapur tu,masak la bagi sedap-sedap,barulah laki suka.Dapatlah dia buat keputusan dengan betui.Bagi tau kat dia kisah-kisah Bendahara melayu yang hebat,tengok juga pemimpin-pemimpin dunia macam Saddam,Hitler,Suharto dan jangan
lupa kehebatan pemimpin agama kita yang kita kagumi hingga lani.
Kalu dia tak dengar cakap,bagi tau tokwan,nanti tokwan balun kepala dia,uhuk uhuk uhuk...
Dear The Scribe

Assalamualaikum pak Kadir
1. Apa agendanya.
2. Siapa penilainya.
3. Kenapa ia ditulis.
4. Bila berakhirnya.
Bolehkah dijawab dengan jujur oleh sang penulis?
Pepatah mengatakan bahawa "Fitnah itu lebih tajam dari mata pedang".
Bertanggungjawablah wahai A KadirJasin,Didunia lagi anda sudah perlu berhadapan dengan soalan manusia,diakhirat kelak mulut tidak dapat menjawab bagi pihak kamu...wallahualam.
Aslkum Dakj
Melihat kpd penglibatan dan perhatian yg diberi pihak media kpd RM , apakah tak mungkin beliau sebenarnya the most powerful person in Malaysia.
Terutamanya bila saya sering dengar bomoh dari India bebas keluar masuk istana.
Demi kuasa dan harta apa saja termasuk yg haram sesetengah org Melayu sanggup buat
Salam DKJ,
All the other candidates,except DSR, can stand on their own. Take DSN away, can DSR be descrbed as such?
If DSR is no longer PM, DSR will go into oblivion.
Clearly the advertorial is "apple polishing ".
Penyokong Mahathirism
Salam Dato and all,
Have mercy on her.She is merely the wife of the PM.Supporting the MAN and playing the role of the First Lady.On that basis alone she is a powerful lady.She is not a politician and she will not want to be one.Can we have that respect at least on her and leave her alone.The stressful PRU is just over for whatever the intention of this article sir.
Yang terbaik elok kita jauhi diri kita dari perasangka buruk dan fitnah- pesan nenek saya.
"HEAR NO EVIL and SAY NO EVIL" PEACE!!
Terima kasih.
Datuk AJK,
Tumpang tak ada tajuk baru,nak bagi tau DAJK,kat kampung berkelewar Bangla.Cari kerja nak buat rumah,repair ka.Sebelum tu,puak Burma(myanmar) bersepak seluruh Kedah.Dah ada nama Kampung Burma di Pendang kuala Sala.Itu setakat yang saya tau.Depa ni jugak buat kerja tukang rumah,bendang,motong getah,dsb.
Sebelum itu jugak lagi,mai puak Indon.Sama jugak kerja buat depa ni.Kerja macam-macam disapunya.
Satu lagi yang ramai tak perasan atau buat tak tau, gerombolan pendatang selatan Thai,orang Pattani.Kedai makan mereka dari Perlis sampai pantai Selat Tebrau.
Semua depa ni buat yang mana melayu duk buat selama ini.Yalah,kerja buat rumah,pi kelaut,kerja kontrek binaaan,kan orang melayu luar bandar duk buat selama ini,telahpun diambil alih oleh puak-puak ini.
Kedai makan seperti kita tahu,memang jadi asas pada orang melayu ceburi bidang niaga,pun makin hari semakin kurang,di bolot puak Pattani.Sepanjang semenanjung depa kontrol.Ingat Tomyam,ingat Pettani...
Kesimpulannya,peluang-peluang yang memang hanya sedikit untuk orang melayu buat,sudah hampir tak ada lagi disapu pendatang.Sudahlah yang lain dibedak kepada india dan cina,yang tinggal sikit itupun disamun pula lagi.
Antara sebab mereka boleh dapat peluang tersebut ialah kerana taktik serupa cina dan india dahulu.
Sedih pikiaq tentang melayu di tanah melayu.Ayam menang,kampung tergadai.
Tak ada apa-apa lagi yang tinggal,hanya yang ada cuma BANGSA melayu.
Datuk boleh tengok sikit..
Salam Datuk,
I cannot understand why Malaysian government did not suspend TheStar for publishing such an insulting advertisement that violates code of ethics of journalists.
Please note that the above comment made by a "Hafiz Noor Shams" wasn't made by me.
Salam DAKJ
Aku menilai artikel dari sudut yang tersirat..ada pandangan peribadi yang tersurat dan tsirat...yang tersurat boleh dilihat...yang tersirat tu lebih dalam maknanya.
